[pct-l] Pick & Pack



Aloha Mark!

Thanks for playing!  I'm certainly going to look long and hard at each
item within the next two weeks.  I appreciate your expertise.

In answer to the question regarding the OR Sombrero, I thought the model was
the Sombrero - black, tack up sides, water proof.  Love the hat and it did
well for the very very very wet AT in '03.  I could only see it on the PCT 
in
Washington or such... if at all though.

Thanks again for playing!

Aloha!
